Lap band $10,000 in Oregon....

I just caught this on the Oregon board: Dr. Tersigni of Coos Bay (who has an excellent reputation) is having a special on the lap band for $10,000. Here is his web address: http://www.northwestbariatricsurgery.com/ I mention this here because the price rivals going to Mexico but you have a lot less jockeying to do and travel costs if you are close to Oregon, plus it would be easier to get fills. Coos Bay is on the Oregon coast and has moderate temperatures all year long. If you are from outside the area, you can recuperate on the Oregon coast and enjoy the scenery to boot! Just wanted to get this out there because I know there are several from Oregon and the Pacific NW who also read this board. Dina
